I honestly didn't know what it was till I saw people doing the challenge. This disease is a terrible thing. I wanna say as worse if not worse than cancer. Awards

Is really only like 8% of everyone's donations only going to research? if that is true that is wrong. that's why everyone is donating. that is why ALSA has seen a 1000% increase in donations because they want to see not necessarily a cure but a change, some type of prevention. I really hope that ALSA is not being greedy like that. I understand they have to pay their employees and everything. BUT every other cent should be used for research. If you could help me by finding out whether this is all true or just a farce. Awards

But go ahead if you want, doing something is better than nothing, but here in minnesota we are looking at a 9 month long ice bucket weather event coming up. Awards
